Gin likes me?

"Huh? Is there someone in that little house?!"

Looking at the two-story building vaguely visible in the bushes with shining eyes, Suzuki Sonoko hesitated for a moment, but couldn't resist her curiosity and walked over carefully.

Suzuki Sonoko tried her best to lift her feet and hold the bottom edge of the window with both hands. She exerted force little by little, and pushed her little head through the window frame, barely able to see the scene in the room.

then.

"Ah! (+decibel) Kurosawa-nii-san!"

172: Let’s go give her a surprise!

"Wow, this is so delicious! When I wanted to try eating these things before, my parents wouldn't let me, saying that they have no nutrition and that children can't eat them! But when I went to play with Xiaolan, I always saw Uncle Maori eating these things with wine, and they looked delicious!"

Without even using chopsticks, Suzuki Sonoko ate a spicy duck wing in each hand, her hands and mouth full of greasy food. She sat happily on the sofa, shaking her legs. She didn't look like the second daughter of a top Japanese consortium at all.

"Well, this thing is indeed not very good for the body, but generally no one eats it every day. It's true that we should eat nutritious food, but it's okay to eat some junk food that tastes good and can bring people happiness occasionally."

Smiling at Suzuki Sonoko who didn't care about her image at all and was eating with great enjoyment, Uozuka Saburo picked up the juice that Tanaka Flag had run out to get, put a straw in it and put it to Suzuki Sonoko's mouth. Suzuki Sonoko didn't hesitate and turned her mouth to hold the straw and took a big sip.

"Hurry~ Thank you, Kurosawa brother~"

"Well, eat slowly. Try this mixed beef offal later. It's also delicious."

Smiling and touching Suzuki Sonoko's little head, Uozuka Saburo felt that although he was not controlled by Suzuki Ayako, Suzuki Sonoko was still very cute and approachable.

Saburo Uozuka likes this kind of child who is not pretentious, who says he is happy when he is happy and says he is angry when he is angry.

Well, there are also children who have a good appetite when eating and are not picky about food.

"It's a good thing that you're here, Mr. Kurosawa, otherwise I would be in big trouble today." Looking helplessly at Suzuki Sonoko, who was sitting next to Uozuka Saburo and happily eating the snacks he bought, Tanaka Flag shook his head, picked up the wine glass, raised it for a moment, and then drank it all in one gulp.

"What does it matter? Children can eat whatever they like. If you really want to be healthy, you still have to exercise. If you only rely on eating, you are just deceiving yourself."

Curling his lips in disdain, Saburo Uozuka did not deny that a nutritionally balanced diet was good for the human body, but he felt that serious exercise was the best way to keep oneself healthy!

"Brother Kurosawa, I do exercise! I run with Xiaolan at school every day!"

After hearing what Uozuka Saburo said, Suzuki Sonoko, who was still holding a half-eaten duck wing in her hand, raised her hand and looked at Uozuka Saburo proudly, her eyes full of expectation for praise.

"Really? Yuanzi is awesome! You should keep up this habit, it will be very beneficial to you in the future!"

Looking at such a lovely Suzuki Sonoko, Uozuka Saburo will certainly not let her down.

Raising his hand and rubbing Suzuki Sonoko's hair again, Uozuka Saburo praised her with a smile.

"When you grow up, Sonoko can also learn some self-defense fighting techniques. Girls must be able to protect themselves!"

"I understand! Then I will learn from Kurosawa brother! My sister and Xiaolan both said that Kurosawa brother is very powerful!"

For the current Suzuki Sonoko, Uozuka Saburo, who takes her out to play happily, eats delicious food with her, and makes her happy, is someone she trusts unconditionally!

Since Uozuka Saburo said so, she might as well learn it!

However, she had no intention of learning karate with Xiaolan. Suzuki Sonoko, who had watched their training several times, did not like the feeling.

Instead of asking others to teach her, she might as well ask Uozuka Saburo, who has a good relationship with her and her sister, to teach her~

Suzuki Sonoko had heard from her sister that the older brother in front of her was the hero who saved her from those terrible robbers with guns!

Although I don't know why my sister doesn't let me tell others about Uozuka Saburo, in Sonoko's heart, Uozuka Saburo's image is already very great~

"Well, you have to work harder. My training is very difficult."

He paused for a moment, and after thinking about what he had learned, Uozuka Saburo felt that he seemed to have no way of teaching Suzuki Sonoko anything.

How to kill with one strike in close combat? 12 flexible techniques for using a dagger? How to use drugs and firearms to successfully complete the battle?

Stop it, the style of painting is wrong.

However, Saburo Uozuka had no intention of teaching her. It was just like coaxing a child. Suzuki Sonoko would forget about it by then anyway.

"By the way, Kurosawa-nii, can I have a taste of beer?"

Suzuki Sonoko was happily eating the food on the table that she had only seen but never had the chance to taste before. After listening to the conversation between Uozuka Saburo and Tanaka Flag for a while, she looked curiously at the foamy yellow liquid that the two of them drank one cup after another.

She knew that it was the beer that Xiaolan's father, Maori Kogoro, liked to drink the most! However, her father didn't seem to like this kind of beer very much. He usually drank red beer.

"That won't work. You're not old enough yet."

Saying completely unconvincing words, Uozuka Saburo, who could drink at the age of 12 in his previous life, righteously rejected the curious Suzuki Sonoko.

Sure enough, he didn’t care when he did bad things secretly, but when facing children younger than himself, he was ruthless in stopping them.

"Really? Okay then." She was a little disappointed, but not too unhappy. Compared to the beer that she was just curious about, Suzuki Sonoko liked the table full of various foods more.

"Well, I'm full!~" Suzuki Sonoko put the last piece of fried chicken into her mouth, wiped her palms carefully, then fell back, leaned on the sofa, and cutely stroked her bloated belly with her hands.

"Take a rest after you're full, but take a walk after a while, or else your stomach will hurt from the retained food at night."

"Okay, I'll go for a walk!" Suzuki Sonoko nodded obediently, looked around and finally turned her gaze to Uozuka Saburo who was still drinking beside her.

"Um, Kurosawa-nii, why are you in my house?"

Yes, after eating and drinking, Suzuki Sonoko, who had woken up from the surprise, finally noticed the strangest point.

"And he's with Uncle Tanaka, do you know him?"

"Forehead."

A simple and innocent question made Uozuka Saburo and Tanaka Hata both freeze in place.

Saburo Uozuka, whose attention was distracted by Suzuki Sonoko's happy eating appearance, forgot to think about how to explain to Suzuki Sonoko, and as for Tanaka Flag, he simply didn't know how to start.

He didn't know how Suzuki Ayako was going to talk to Suzuki Sonoko!

It is difficult for children to keep secrets from their family members, and they might accidentally tell the Suzukis about the existence of Uozuka Saburo.

"But since Kurosawa-nii-san is coming to our house, I'm sure I'll be very happy!~"

There was no time for Uozuka Saburo and Tanaka Hata to answer. Suzuki Sonoko stood up happily as if she had thought of something, took Uozuka Saburo's hand and prepared to take him away!

"Come on, Kurosawa-nii, I'll take you to my sister's room! Let's give her a surprise together!"

"No, no!"

"Yes, Second Miss, you can't do that!!"

173: You are still laughing, you haven’t stopped

After much persuasion, the confused Suzuki Sonoko finally gave up and took Uozuka Saburo to hide in Suzuki Ayako's room. Then he suddenly came out to scare Suzuki Ayako, an action that would make people's heart beat faster in every way. Then, Uozuka Saburo used the game console in the living room to attract Suzuki Sonoko's attention again.

Looking at Suzuki Sonoko who was excitedly adjusting the game with the controller in hand, Uozuka Saburo turned his head and looked at Tanaka Hall who was also wiping a sweat off his face.

Well, Tanaka Hata was really panicked!

Although he knew that his eldest daughter really liked the man in front of him, after all, they would still have to go through a lot of hardships before they could be together in the future.

After all, being the son-in-law of the Suzuki family is not that easy.

If Suzuki Sonoko really dragged Uozuka Saburo to Suzuki Ayako's room today, Tanaka Hata would really have to consider the worst outcome.

What's the worst outcome?

After finding a random excuse to fool the little girl Suzuki Sonoko, a single man and a single woman were left alone in the same room?

We all used to be young people, so who doesn’t know who?

If they really acted on impulse and sparks flew between the two of them, Tanaka Hata didn't dare to say whether Suzuki Ayako would be taught a lesson by Suzuki Shiro and Suzuki Tomoko in the end, but he knew that he would definitely not survive.

"I'll leave first. Mr. Kurosawa, please take care of the second young lady. At this time, the gentleman, the lady and the eldest young lady haven't come back yet. The second young lady must be very bored alone."

Nodding at Uozuka Saburo, Tanaka Flag began to clean the table very consciously, indicating that Uozuka Saburo didn't need to come to help, he just needed to accompany Suzuki Sonoko.

"Okay then. Remember to tell Ayako that this little girl is with me. Ask her to come and pick her up when the time comes."

Looking at Tanaka Flag with approval, Uozuka Saburo glanced at Suzuki Sonoko, who was almost staring at the screen of the game console, and knew that it would be difficult for him to pull her out of this state.

However, Saburo Uozuka could also understand that a child at an age when he needs the company of his family and a child who should naturally play during his playing time, becomes the loneliest person after returning home every day.

"As expected, every family has its own problems. However, this girl has a good personality. It seems that she has not taken the wrong path."

With emotion in his heart, he sat down next to Suzuki Sonoko, picked up his own controller, and looked at Suzuki Sonoko's excited face, and suddenly his heart tightened.

His mind couldn't help but recall the last time at Akemi's house, when he was beaten to a pulp by that cold-faced girl, Miyano Shiho, using a game. Uozuka Saburo felt a little restless.

"Um, Sonoko, do you often play games?"

After straightening his expression, Uozuka Saburo decided to ask first to find out the truth.

If Suzuki Sonoko says that she often plays this kind of game console, then I will guide Suzuki Sonoko to play some games that require cooperation to pass levels, or games where two people are in a team and fight the enemy together.

And if Suzuki Sonoko said that she was not good at playing.

"I don't play it often. What's the point of playing alone? I like to play games that I can play with friends."

Mengmeng shook her head and Suzuki Sonoko gave her answer very seriously.

"Oh!~" His eyes lit up instantly. After Suzuki Sonoko said this to reassure Saburo Uozuka, Saburo Uozuka unceremoniously operated the handle with the speed of drawing a gun in his usual training to select a two-player fighting game.

"Then let's just pick a random game to play. If you don't think it's fun, we can change it."

"Okay!~ I want that pretty girl!"

Looking at Suzuki Sonoko, who didn't care at all about her choice of game and started to select characters excitedly, a trace of guilt flashed through Uozuka Saburo's heart, but it was quickly erased by himself!

Actually, Uozuka Saburo doesn’t care about winning or losing, really, he doesn’t care!

He just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to see carefully whether there was something wrong with that girl Miyano Shiho and whether she was different from ordinary children, or whether his skills were really so bad that he couldn't even beat a child of elementary school age!

"Well, just play one round, and forget about it if you win. Then let it go a little and have fun with this girl."

Looking at Suzuki Sonoko, who was sitting next to him and holding the handle and rocking happily from side to side, Uozuka Saburo already had a plan in mind.

After all, you are an adult and you should act like an adult.

However, since it is a competitive game, the necessary atmosphere must still be created!

"Yuanzi, you have to be careful with me. Don't cry when you lose!"

"No way, only Kurosawa brother would cry!"

"Hey, today I'm going to show you, a little girl, what the sinister intentions of adults are. In fact, this is not the first time I've played this game, Sonoko-chan!!"

. . .

【Red win! 】

"Yeah! I win again!"

"..." Silently looking at the result on the screen, holding the handle weakly in his hand with a dull look in his eyes, Saburo Uozuka did not care about Suzuki Sonoko who was jumping and cheering loudly beside him.

At this moment, he finally understood what the saying "People's sorrows and joys are not shared, I just feel they are quarreling" from the article written by the great man whom he had the honor to study in his previous life meant.

The game was fun, but I wasn't the winner.

It wasn't me once!

Subconsciously swallowing a mouthful of saliva to relieve his dry throat, Uozuka Saburo looked at Suzuki Sonoko who was still celebrating her 7th consecutive victory, and spoke with a difficult voice.

"Sonoko, have you ever played this game before?"

"Yeah, I've played it before~"

Suzuki Sonoko smiled and nodded, immersed in the joy of her own victory and not noticing Uozuka Saburo's awkward situation. She was still smiling.

"But didn't you say that you don't like this kind of game played alone, and prefer to play games with friends?"

"Yeah, so I just played a simulated battle with each character and then stopped playing~"

"..."

"Brother Kurosawa, you are so stupid. Just now when you hit me into the sky, you could have just followed up with a floating move, but you insisted on holding back your ultimate move. I finally had a chance to win a game, but ended up losing again."

"I, I'm usually very busy with work. How can I have the time to play this kind of game?" Feeling ashamed and angry at Suzuki Sonoko's harmless words, Uozuka Saburo cleared his throat and waved his hand in disdain.

"Is that so?" Sonoko nodded in surprise. The naive Sonoko did not think that Uozuka Saburo was lying to her.

"Is that why you, Kurosawa-nii, lost to me seven times in a row?"

"Sonoko, let's have some snacks and then play a different game."

"Okay, thank you, Kurosawa-nii. You don't really play video games yourself, but you're willing to play with me! I really like Kurosawa-nii!~"
